Leonardos writings on paintingamong the most remarkable from any erawere never edited by Leonardo himself into a single coherent book. In this anthology the authors have edited material not only from his socalled Treatise on Painting butalso from his surviving manuscripts and from other primary sources, some of which were here translated for the first time. The resulting volume is an invaluable reference work for art historians as well as for anyone interested in the mind and methods of one of the worlds greatest creative geniuses.Highly readable. . . . Also included are documentary sources and letters illuminating Leonardos career; the manuscript sources for all of Leonardos statements are fully cited in the notes.
